This is Hiroshi Tanahashi, “Once in a Century Masterpiece”, the Ace of New Japan Pro-Wrestling! I have been playing Vanguard since the beginning, and my love for Vanguard is not to be underestimated. It feels like it’s fate for me to be forming this Vanguard Club!
My aim is to gather fans that were once passionate about Vanguard! I believe that there are many fans that are away for various reasons, such as work, child-raising, studies, among others. Therefore, with this opportunity, and the trigger of the formation of the New Japan Vanguard Club, let’s play Vanguard again! Of course, I will be looking forward to a cardfight with you! In the meantime, I will be strengthening myself…
I won’t be hold anything back, so be prepared! Stand up, Vanguard!
The Ace of New Japan Pro-Wrestling, Hiroshi Tanahashi debuted in October 1999 and currently holds the highest record of IWGP Heavyweight titles (8 times) and has defended the title a record breaking 11 times. This achievement goes alongside a domestic Grand Slam, with Tanahashi one of precious few to win the IWGP heavyweight, Intercontinental, Tag and NEVER Openweight Championships, as well as 3 G1 Climaxes.
